Not to be deterred, Elmo won't go away until Oscar lets him do wiggle exercises with him, but only if it means Elmo will go away. Of course, this also means that they have to sing the song that Oscar normally sings for Slimey: "Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle." Elmo feels proud that he made Oscar feel "just a little better."

Oscar asks the musicians in his trash can to start playing the "Miss My Worm Blues" again.

Just then, the signal at the WASA mission control Around the Corner goes off, meaning that Slimey is going to talk to them from his spaceship. They become excited, and immediately head over there.
